I split my votes between Daniel and Dick. Those two need to be split up.

The thing is, Eric really has no say in the matter. It's up to Jessica.

I have voted for Dustin 10 times. If Eric really wants money badly, then he will have to follow our votes. I would love to see 5 members of LNC go against each other. That will be priceless!

I did Dustin but figure he'll blow this one off too (say it as another joke)

It will be priceless, that's for sure! :-)

At least Eric will have made it into the sequester house....and we can have a vote in the final two! That's the main thing I've wanted as far as this AP twist is concerned.

I've tried, I really have but I just don't like Eric. I can't stand his voice, his logic,his rants (behind someones back). I don't care if he sticks around.

(I don't think Eric ever thanked the voters for choosing Jessica to take to the end, did he?)

I don't like Eric that much and since America already has its jury vote, I feel like voting to screw around with him and not worry if it gets him in trouble again. However, the jury vote would be worthless if we end up with something like Dustin and Amber in the final two.

The AP vote is going to be more critical the longer Eric stays and the voters will have more influence on who makes it to the end. Hmmm, what to do ...

Well, this time, I voted for Dustin on impulse.

So many of the people who dislike Eric as AP are the same ones who vote ridiculous choices that will look all wrong and that Eric will find impossible to cover for. For AP to work, we have to select task targets that make sense for him and don't expose him. So I don't have much time for AP haters--of course you're going to hate it if you make a mockery of it.

Bastable...perhaps you find the choices "rediculous" but we allmay have a different understanding of what they would like AP to accomplish... So while it may seem "rediculous" to you, it may be the perfect choice for others...

Maybe it is because, just like the houseguests, we Americans have different strategies...I don't think that any of the choices are impossible for Eric to cover, but he prefers not to play my strategy...

If I was AP I would not do any tasks that hurt my game either. Eric is not there to help Dick or Daniele win this game.The purpose of AP was never to help fan favorites to the end.

I don't like Eric for many reasons. He may have completed the ignorant tasks he's been given but he has not since, Nick week played for us. He decided that week that we were going to work for him, like it or not. If I don't like him and don't agree with his choices and I am in the majority of the voters who agree on this, why would I want to help him win the money?

I asked this on another thread but I think it shows how some of us feel. If Dick is the one you dislike the most in this game and he was the AP and he decided to make you work with him not him working for you, what would you do? Would you not do everything you could to get HIM evicted. You know you would. For all those who hate the way Dick is playing his game, would you help him win this game????? Be honest with yourselves. If you would then everything you have said about him from his first rant is nothing more than hype.
The only difference I see between Dick and Eric is that Dick says it to your face and Eric says it behind your back..They both make vile comments and call vile names.

Exactly Caprica, I would expect the same behavior from anyone who was AP. If Dick was AP I can guarantee that he would not do anything that would jeopardize his game. ETA - And I would not expect him to.

Then pray tell what the purpose of AP was. I don't think it was to get ERIC to the end for sure. It was to give us a voice and yes that means getting the majority of the fans to get rid of their least favorite. I did not know nor was I ever told my job was to help Eric win this game.

I agree EM--That isn't our job. It says right on the CBS website that Eric, the AP, works for us. It isn't the other way around with us trying to keep him in the game. He is supposed to be doing what the majority of the voters choose for him to do. Period.

I don't understand why so many don't get that.

Earth and Smokey...I am very frustrated with Eric's lack of performance. He should be working for us...If he were in any other job, he would be fired!!

this argument goes on FOREVER. don't fool yourselves, the AP has one purpose and one purpose only...to get people to call so BB can make money from them. period!

they don't care about eric, but they need him there to continue the calls. it isn't the game that's being manipulated. it's US.

just stop calling and you won't have to about the AP anymore this year. i haven't called once and and won't be in the future so i have no problem with what eric does or does not do.

Smokey, it's because they hate D/D and they can't let it go long enough to see the light. If their favorite gets targeted by Eric you will start to see them turn on him. They will all be screaming "he isn't doing what we want"..as long as they can help him get rid of who they want gone by playing into his hands they are just fine with how he's playing.

I don't think that the majority of the watchers hate Eric. We cheered and high fived in our house with last night's outcome. Because we liked seeing the look on smug Dick's face.

It was really wrong of Eric to tell Dick about Amber's secret and how he was going to use it against her. That action would be classified as subhuman in our home. But, so far, Eric has tried to do everything we've asked him to.

I still didn't see where he campaigned against Nick, I actually heard him awkwardly arguing to vote out Kail that entire Nick week. Just because someone says over and over again that he went against us on Nick, doesn't make it so. I was uncomfortable when he was bringing up all of the reasons to vote out Kail when sitting with the LNC, but I admired his effort to do what we had voted for him to do.

OK, I call baloney on this. It's quite clear on the Web site... Eric is representing YOU, America. That means that Eric's job is to do what I want, and if I want him to advance my favorite players, that's what he's supposed to do. He is representing ME. Or rather, he is supposed to. He's certainly not doing what he's supposed to be doing.

The Dick haters are those who will not discuss in a rational manner, will not give kudos for anything, yet will look for the least minor instance to continue to bash him.

BTW, CBS makes no money on Web site votes.

Web, he was pushing for Nick UNTIL HE FOUND OUT that America wanted Kail out. Then he kinda went around saying "I'm saying opposite so ignore me". Total baloney. He campaigned vigoriously for Nick to leave, and then just barely flipped a wrist to get Kail out.

I wouldn't see the point in having a vote at all if the purpose was to try to match what Eric wants or what is easiest for him. He would be doing that without our votes on his own without being AP, and THAT would make AP a useless twist.
